for nearly 27,000 runners and the hundreds of thousands supporting them, this was the big race, the boston marathon. but what started with a flush of energy and anticipation ended in horror just short of the finish line changing lives in an instant. this is a story of those who barely escaped harm, of those who weren't that lucky, of those who did what they could to help. drew griffin begins our special report now.

>> i have multiple people down here, okay? i don't know what the cause is. stand by. >> whoa! something just blew up! >> we've had an attack. oh, my god. >> get back. get back. >> we need as many people as you can from the medical tent. >> the boston marathon turns from triumph to tragedy. the fbi zeros in on the terrorists behind the bombing. >> after a very detailed analysis, a photo, video and other evidence, we are releasing

photos of these two suspects. >> hours later, a suspect spotted. then, a shootout that leaves one suspect dead and another on the run. there's a hajj -- huge, huge police presence here. >> a city under lockdown and on the edge. >> we're asking people to shelter in place, to stay indoors with their doors locked. >> after a massive manhunt -- >> we've had hundreds of law enforcement officers who have zeroed in on the man who they believe is the suspect. they have him cornered. >> -- the suspected bomber captured alive. it was a week of tragedy that began with celebration. it was going to be a great day in boston. the winter pounding was over.

even better, it was patriots day, an annual holiday for bostonians. >> i think for everybody, patriots day stands for something. >> jonathan elias was reporting for wbz tv on april 15th. >> it's sort of like the fourth of july for massachusetts. people celebrate who we are, where we are and what we are. >> there's nothing else like it. >> "boston globe" reporter steve silva was at the starting line of the day's biggest event, the boston marathon. >> part of the american sports scene since 1897. >> it was a chilly morning, 30 degrees, people starting to warmup, unlike last year where it was 80 degrees. the weather's not going to be a story this year. what's going to be the story? >> for pediatric resident natalie stavas, it would be a story of giving back. >> it was a very special day for me. i had decided to raise money for

boston medical center pediatrics. >> doctors told chris that this was a day her daughter might not ever live to see. >> they said her prognosis was, you know, maybe she'll be 10 if we were lucky. >> the mitochondrial disease that weakened kayla's cells made her terribly ill. >> those first few years were hard, she needed to have medical procedures, time in the hospital, lots of pneumonias. >> for the kay girls, it had been a tough go. kayla's health challenges, two benign brain tumors for chris, the loss of kayla's father, chris' husband to a heart attack at age 42. but this would be a joyful day. a day to make history as a mother-daughter wheelchair team. >> this was the first time in the 117 years of the boston marathon that a female duo team actually entered and was going to complete the race.

well, if we're going to start this, we're going to finish it because one shot to do it and we're going to do it. >> natalie, too, had a special running companion. >> i was with my father who was running the marathon with me. he had put in a lot of hours and dedicated a lot of time to training. >> by the time they reached the starting line, the air was electric. >> the pulse of the crowd at the starting line is just -- there's so much excitement and happiness. >> when we got to hopkington and she got in her chair, you could just see the excitement. she was just hugging people and high-fiving people and any opportunity to kiss somebody, she was. >> wave after wave of runners started the race. nearly 27,000 people running for the finish line. >> we did our -- you know, our duty at the starting line, got everybody off and running and i jumped in the car with my intern and we headed for the finish line.

>> on the course, natalie was midway through her 11th marathon but this one was different. >> i remember the crowd and the energy and the enthusiasm and the excitement and the love and there's -- there's just something not -- that i've never experienced before that i experienced here in boston. >> along the course we saw friends and family and, you know, genuine strangers coming up to us and just saying, you know, this is so inspirational. this is wonderful. >> lelisa desisa is the 2013 boston marathon champion. >> by 2:10 p.m., the elite runners were long finished and crossroads at the marathon were growing. among them, these two men looking like normal spectators, their dark plans undetected. they made their way to the

finish line, setting their backpacks down in the crowd. steve silva and john elias were standing nearby watching the finishers. >> you see cheers, you see people yelling "yes"! there's a lot of raw emotion. a lot of people we know, from our neighborhood. >> we're literally rolling behind people coming across the line and high-fiving and cheering them on. everybody cheers them on. >> natalie knew she was close. >> so there's this marker that every runner looks for in a race and if you're a marathoner, you know what it means. it says, you have one mile to go. my dad and i had passed that marker. >> chris and boyfriend brian were already within sight of the finish line. >> the crowds were just absolutely crazy and, you know, everybody was cheering and kayla's doing her little shaky shake. >> steve was rolling on the finishers. then --

>> same time, just the blast, flash of fire, and the smoke. i could see it through the camera. >> and when it went off, it literally was deafening and you feel your hair going up and your body tremble. >> brian had been hit with something because i could see the blood on his shoulder and he just instinctively in that split second grabbed the stroller and said, we've got to go. >> around the corner, natalie did not know what had just happened. >> we thought, fireworks, this is for us, celebrating the finish of the marathon. >> something just blew up! >> 12 seconds later, another blast. >> pretty quickly we realized it was something that was not expected and something had gone horribly wrong. >> grandstands were emptying. people were sprinting and running around and everything felt like it was in slow motion. >> you're coming down the final

stretch and it's a herd of runners and there's so much momentum in that herd and everyone stopped. >> there was a little bit of a dead silence right after it happened. >> there weren't screams for help. there weren't people crying. everybody had their mouths kind of open like they wanted to say something or wanted to scream and nothing was coming out. their eyes were wide open and they were in far away trances as though they were in complete shock. >> chris and kayla, natalie and her dad were all safe. hundreds of others were not as lucky. >> it was a process not fast enough for me to say, wait a minute, that guy's leg is gone, that woman doesn't have a leg. where is her arm? >> it was scattered, 30 feet of carnage, blood, body parts. >> then, what started as a race to the finish became a desperate race against time to save the

lives of the gravely wounded. next, dr. sanjay gupta on the fight for survival. >> i was leaning over him and he grabbed me and he said, doctor, am i going to be okay? switch your car insurance to geico and we could help you save on boat and motorcycle insurance too. other insurance companies are green with envy. oh, no, no, no...i'm sorry, but this is all wrong? i would never say that. writer: well what would you say? gecko: well i'd probably emphasize the savings. ya know...lose that green with envy bit. rubbish. it's just a reference about my complexion. writer: but the focus groups thought that the... gecko: focus groups. geico doesn't use focus groups. uhh...excuse me. no one told me we were using focus groups. vo: geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. how did i know? well, i didn't really. see, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive... but when i started losing energy and became moody... that's when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. we discussed all the symptoms... then he gave me some blood tests.

showed it was low t. that's it. it was a number -- not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1.62% (testosterone gel). the #1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. women and children should avoid contact with application sites. discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. men with breast cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. so...what do men do when a number's too low?

a bomb packed with nails and bbs rips into the crowd cheering near the finish line. >> i have multiple people down here, okay? i don't know what the cause is. stand by. >> we need help from the medical tent. get as many people up here as you can from the medical tent. >> it was like, oh, my god, it actually happened. most people didn't know what it was. they just heard a big explosion. i knew it was an ied. there was no question in my mind. >> jim, an iraq war veteran and a registered nurse, was volunteering in the race's medical tent. >> i was convinced there was going to be another because what they used to do overseas sometimes is one would go off and then they would wait a little while. people would go to the aid of whoever was injured and they

would set off a second one just to maximize their damage. >> just 12 seconds later, another explosion. >> we've had an attack. >> it was a deep feeling that almost just penetrated you to the core. >> dr. natalie stavas was running the race with her father. >> i could immediately sense that something was terribly wrong and chaos broke out almost immediately. they tried to stop us and they were actually trying to barricade the rest of us back. i leapt over the barricade. police officers were yelling at me, stop, you must stop. and i kept going. finally, a police officer actually grabbed my arm and he said, ma'am, ma'am, you must stop. and i said, i'm a pediatric physician. i'm a pediatric physician. you have to let me go. you have to. >> dr. stavas sprinted towards the finish line and straight into a war zone.

>> the crowd screaming and people screaming in pain and blood has a very distinct smell and you know that you're facing grave, grave tragedy if you -- if you're feeling that and you're sensing that. that you can smell the blood. i went to the next woman who was ahead of me and right in the middle of boylston street and she was laying on her back and i said, let me help you. let me help you. i'm a doctor. she showed me the wound and it was a large wound to the groin. oh, it was a horrible wound. and i yelled, we need to get this woman in the ambulance now. >> dr. stavas raced from one victim to the next. >> another young man, grabbed me and he said, doctor, am i going

to be okay? he was the first person that i looked at in the eyes and said, you're going to be okay. >> i saw volunteers running towards the finish line, wheelchairs coming over the barricades to get to the wounded. >> registered nurse steven sagatori had been handling routine blisters and dehydration in the medical tent. suddenly, dozens of victims now needed his help. >> my first patient was a young man in a wheelchair. we brought him in, got him in a stretcher, tightened the tourniquets tighter and he went right out to the hospital. i went back out to start getting -- to bring the next person in and that's when i saw the stretcher with the physician on one side and an ems coming in and a physician was doing cpr. >> it was 29-year-old krystle campbell. >> she was just a beautiful young girl.

she reminded me of my daughter, actually. and her wounds were horrific. you know, we worked very hard on her for a while until it was clear that it was -- it wasn't going to help the situation at all. and at that point we were feeling for a pulse and then the cardiac rhythm on the monitor was such that she was not going to survive and at that point the physician, you know, pronounced her -- said she was dead. >> dead in his arms. >> we just kind of all -- we just let out this guttural scream, you know. but that was it for that moment because we had to go on to the next patient. >> for the next 45 minutes, steven worked triage on the front lines.

dozens were rushed to the emergency room under code red, meaning their chances of survival uncertain. >> it's a horrific tragedy that, you know, you couldn't wish on anyone. >> trauma surgeon dr. david king crossed the finish line moments before the second explosion. as the bodies were rushed from the medical tent to the emergency room, dr. king raced to mass general and spent the next 40 hours performing life-saving operations. it's extraordinary. within 90 seconds you were essentially on the way to the operating room with these patients? >> yeah. the injuries were so horrific and so obvious, when bleeding is massive, it doesn't take a lot of figuring to understand that something needs to be done quickly. >> you had sort of a significant milestone today with regard to your patients, critically injured patients. but what happened today that was

significant? >> our last patient who was on a breathing machine today had their breathing tube removed. that doesn't mean we've won the game but it's a really big step in the right direction. >> and it's a miracle for boston as the heroism of the first responders saved 180 lives. still, steven sagatori can't stop thinking about the ones they lost. >> i'm an icu nurse by professional so death is a part of what you do for a living. but you expect it when you're at work. in this case, you know, everyone's out having a good time with a marathon and people are now did. but i haven't been able to put krystle -- i haven't been able to put that in a box and tuck it away and get it out of my mind right now. i know with time it will but right now i think about it all the time.

any people up there in the medical tent. >> even as first responders struggled to save lives,

investigators began digging for evidence. as work of the massive crime scene got under way, boston's police commissioner stood resolute. >> we will turn every rock over to find who is responsible for this. >> the criminal investigation pushed ahead painstaking work, the components of two bombs scattered across the streets for blocks. each particle would need to be found, cataloged, collected. 27 hours after the blasts, these crime scene photos began circulating showing pieces of the bomb, a partial timing device, and a possible clue. >> among items partially recovered are pieces of black nylon which could be from a backpack and what appeared to be fragments of bbs and nails possibly contained in a pressure cooker device.

>> at least one of the bombs was packed inside a spanish-made widely available household pressure cooker. a six-liter stainless steel pot. its mangled pieces found in the wreckage, a piece of its lid found on a rooftop. >> this device is on the web. it is something that anyone could make if they wanted to and if they took the time and resources. >> juliette kayyem, former homeland security official, predicted the killers would be captured because of being caught on camera. >> there's no way that someone planning this would have thought that they wouldn't have been seen by some camera. >> and she was right. >> we are releasing photos of these two suspects. >> late thursday, a big break in the case. fbi officials release these pictures and video of two suspects, suspect one and suspect two. fbi officials say the suspect

with the white cap was seen on video dropping off a backpack shortly before one of the two bombs exploded. just hours later, around 10:00 p.m. thursday, one of the suspects is captured on a surveillance camera. police say it is one of the suspected marathon bombers in the white hat, later identified as 19-year-old dzhokhar tsarnaev. minutes later, shots are fired at m.i.t. a campus police officer, sean collier, is found in his cruiser with multiple gunshots. he's pronounced dead at the hospital. not long after, two men carjack a mercedes suv. watertown police spot that car and then a high-speed chase. >> during the course of that pursuit, several explosive devices were discharged from the car at the police officers. in the exchange of the gunfire, we believe that one of the suspects was struck and

ultimately taken into custody. >> a transit officer was shot and wounded in the gunfight but police did shoot one man, 26-year-old tamerlan tsarnaev, identified as suspect number one and dzhokhar tsarnaev's older brother. he later dies at a hospital, strapped to his body, bombs. dzhokhar tsarnaev is still on the run and an american city is put on lockdown. >> there is a massive manhunt under way. >> full neighborhoods are evacuated and watertown looks like a ghost town while a massive manhunt begins for the second brother, the nation begins to learn just who these men are. the older brother who was married and had a young daughter studied engineering at bunker hill community college. he took the year off to train as a boxer.

the younger brother is a student at the university of massachusetts, dartmouth. friends say he was a wrestler and a lifeguard. it turns out the family comes from chechnya, the breakaway soviet republic which has for decades been racked by violence from extremists who have fought against russian control. the family came to the united states more than a decade ago. zubeidat, the mother of the two suspects -- >> nobody talked about the terrorism and he never told me that he would be like on the side of jihad. >> anzor tsarnaev is the suspects' father. >> translator: someone framed them. i don't know exactly who did it but someone did and being cowards they shot the boy dead. there are cops like this. it's all because i'm afraid for my son and his life. they should arrest him and bring him but alive, alive, and justice should decide who is right and who is guilty.

>> friends from the boston area who knew them say they are surprised. >> the dzhokhar that i remember was a cordial kid, he was a happy-go-lucky kid, nothing to indicate that he would be a part of a terrorist plan. >> he was a regular teenager. >> deanna blue went to high school with dzhokhar tsarnaev. >> he was quiet, you know, just a regular teenager, didn't suspect anything. he was on the wrestling team. he went to parties with, you know, other students. yeah. he went to the prom. regular, pretty much. nothing that caught me off guard that made me suspect anything, which is why i'm really surprised about what happened because i didn't expect that at all from him. >> more recently, he used twitter often, even after the bombing. among his tweets on april 15th,

"ain't no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people." and a university official says tsarnaev was on the campus of the university of massachusetts, dartmouth, every day until thursday where he attended classes and parties in the dorms. other details began to emerge. an fbi official said that tamerlan tsarnaev was interviewed by agents in 2011 at the request of a foreign government. that government suspected that he might have ties to extremist groups. but the fbi says nothing was found. as the hunt continued into friday night, even the most veteran law enforcement officials could not believe how big it was. >> this city has never seen anything like this going back to the era of the boston strangler in the early '60s. right now there is total paralysis in the city of boston.

>> what was that? was that guns? >> but it would soon end in watertown. i just heard what sounded like multiple assault rifle shots. it sounded like police emptying their weapons, rapidly fired and then all of a sudden it stopped. >> there was a lot of commotion over in this area. we just saw more police vehicles with their lights going. >> they have the suspect. they believe it is the a suspect. they know exactly where he is. they have cordoned off a section of watertown. >> clear out, okay? >> by 8:15 p.m., law enforcement officials say a person believed to be dzhokhar tsarnaev is cornered, hiding on a boat in a backyard. finally, at 8:46 p.m., he's in custody and taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.

>> so we needed to break down that fence in order for the aids to come and help. and that was the first thing we did. >> carlos dropped to the ground to help jeff bauman who had lost both legs. >> i look at his legs, i ask for help, he has somebody help and then another person come over. i grab a sweater from the ground and i rip it apart in between this person and myself we start stopping the bleeding from jeff's legs and then i pick up jeff from the floor, i pick him up and i sit him in the chair and i told him to hold on, hold on, and i told the lady, we have to rush, we have to rush. let's move. let's move it. and then we continue moving along the road, under the finish line and then into the emergency tent which they want me to stop here, stop here, stop. right here, right here.
